Astranis builds advanced satellites for high orbits, serving large enterprises, sovereign governments, and the US military with dedicated, secure networks. The company operates five satellites on orbit with a backlog exceeding $1 billion in commercial contracts. Astranis employs 500 engineers and entrepreneurs and designs, builds, and operates satellites from its 153,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Northern California.
You will join the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) team as a Project Manager focused on Configuration Management. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys structured technical work, thrives on solving operational puzzles, and wants direct exposure to how complex hardware is designed, released, built, and improved.
Your core responsibilities include managing the intake, entry, routing, and quality review of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs). You will work closely with the PLM team and cross-functional partners in engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality to ensure every hardware change is documented, reviewed, traceable, and ready for execution.
Key responsibilities:
- Create, enter, maintain, and track Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and associated PLM records
- Review ECO submissions for completeness, accuracy, required documentation, and adherence to naming, revision-control, and release standards
- Coordinate ECO routing, approvals, and follow-up across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and other teams
- Proactively identify stalled, incomplete, or inconsistent change requests and work with stakeholders to resolve them
- Support the release and revision of parts, assemblies, drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and related engineering documentation
- Develop and maintain reports, dashboards, and metrics for ECO throughput, backlog, cycle time, and data quality
By owning these essential workflows, you will help scale the systems and processes that enable Astranis to build satellites faster and more reliably.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, operations, supply chain, manufacturing, information systems, or another related technical field—or equivalent relevant experience
- Exceptional attention to detail and demonstrated ability to perform high-accuracy, process-driven work
- Strong organizational, written, and verbal communication skills
- Comfort working with structured data, spreadsheets, and technical documentation
- Ability to manage multiple requests, prioritize effectively, and follow defined processes
- Collaborative approach and comfort working with technical and operational stakeholders
- Curiosity about how physical products are designed, documented, released, and built
Bonus qualifications:
- Professional experience supporting engineering, manufacturing, operations, supply chain, quality, or configuration-management teams
- Familiarity with product lifecycle management (PLM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), document-control, ticketing, or workflow-management systems
- Exposure to engineering drawings, BOMs, part numbers, revisions, or change-control processes
- Interest in aerospace, satellites, or complex hardware development
Note: U.S. citizenship, lawful permanent residency, or refugee/asylee status required to comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations.
